What has government done efficiently? did you read and understand the Hayek statement in my post?Go into a Best buy or Walmart and you'll see that private companies are thousands of times more efficient,more accurate, more productive than government
you are willing to give up more of your freedom,money, to the government all because the liberal media engages in fear mongering?
You don’t see that your kind of thinking is what is leading this government to grow in power and size?
No company wants to get sued.
Every company wants to produce quality so that their sales increase or don’t fall.
The FDA cannot do a better job at quality control than private companies even if these goons tried.did you read and understand the Hayek statement in my post?
but you give up my freedom to have government impose your beliefs on the rest of us who don’t trust government. that is against freedom. You trust government to do a better job than private industry. I don't.
Compared to what is the question? Better having an imperfect FDA than no FDA. Better having an imperfect government than no government. We also have private companies that have the incentive structure you raised to not get sued etc. All your points about companies are valid as well. But its not a choice or one or the other. The FDA is valid government function. I don't view the FDA is anymore "evil" and "corrupt" than the rest of our imperfect society and government. Where there are people there's imperfection.
And I don't trust Chinese or Mexican products as being as safe as U.S. products and I'm sure most people in this country feel that way.
